The PT1200-LS is designed to be mounted on a light stand for quick setup. The PT1200-LS still offers all the same quality as our more traditional teleprompters such as made in USA glass, foldable kit, and easy access of monitor buttons. Other teleprompters include “off-the-shelf” LCD monitors designed to be used on a desk attached to your PC. We designed our monitor specifically for use as a teleprompter. The housing is made of metal for durability. The buttons and inputs are laid out for easy access. The screen is sharp and clear.
